Montreal roofing guide

Climate and common roof problems

Montreal has heavy snowfall, long cold winters and strong freeze-thaw cycles. Snow load, ice dams and drainage on flat roofs are key concerns.

Popular roofing materials

Flat roofs (elastomeric membrane, gravel-and-tar, TPO) are extremely common on plexes and triplexes; asphalt shingles and sheet metal are found on houses and in the suburbs. White or reflective membranes are often required on flat roofs.

Permits and local rules

Montreal boroughs issue permits for roof work, and city bylaws require white, green or highly reflective roofing on most flat roof replacements. Roofers must hold an RBQ licence in Quebec.

What affects roofing costs

Flat-roof membrane replacements are priced by square foot and depend on insulation and drains. Snow-removal access and winter conditions affect scheduling.

Tips for hiring a roofer in Montreal

Verify the roofer's RBQ licence number.
Ask whether the membrane meets the city's reflectivity bylaw.
Keep flat-roof drains clear before winter.
